MANILA, June 8 (Reuters) - Officials issued tsunami warnings after a strong magnitude ‌7.8 earthquake struck off the southern Philippine island of Mindanao on Monday, with no immediate reports of deaths or major damage.
Tsunami warnings were issued in the Philippines, neighbouring Indonesia and by the U.S. Tsunami Warning System, with people in coastal areas warned to move to higher ground.
DZBB radio, broadcasting from ​the Philippine city of General Santos about 15 km (9.3 miles) from the epicentre, reported instances of falling furniture, damage ​to televisions and other appliances as the area experienced aftershocks and people left their homes to ⁠seek safety.

The General Santos disaster office said aftershocks were still being felt and authorities were assessing reports of damage and some ​injuries.
In the Philippines' Sarangani province near the epicentre, power and telecommunications were down and school classes were suspended, said local disaster ​chief Rene Punzalan, adding a damage assessment was underway with no reports yet of any collapsed buildings.

Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr said authorities were moving fast to coordinate disaster response.
"The national government is moving and we will not leave Mindanao behind," Marcos said in a ​statement.

The Philippines and Indonesia experience hundreds of quakes each year and sit on tectonically complex parts of the "Pacific Ring of Fire", ​a seismically active belt stretching from South America to the Russian Far East.
Phivolcs, the Philippine agency, warned of damage and tsunami waves above one ‌metre (yard), which ⁠could continue for several hours. Indonesia's geophysics agency BKMG said waves of 0.19 m (8 inches) had been detected so far.
Benjie Ancheta, police chief of Alabel town in Sarangani, said the police building had some cracks after the quake, which occurred during their flag-raising ceremony, where some people fainted.
"This is the strongest earthquake we've experienced," Ancheta told Reuters by phone.

The German Research Centre ​for Geosciences said the 7.8 magnitude ​quake struck at a ⁠depth of 10 km (6.2 miles). It had earlier reported a magnitude of 8.2.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said tsunami waves up to 3 metres (10ft) were possible on some coasts of the Philippines. Waves up to 1 metre (3ft) were possible on some coasts of Indonesia and Malaysia.

“We advise people to evacuate to higher grounds or go further inland,” Teresito Bacolcol, the head of the Philippine institute, warned people living in coastal areas.

Smaller tsunami waves were possible in Taiwan, Japan, Guam, Papua New Guinea and several island nations and territories in the western Pacific.
